I went to Afghanistan so I wouldn’t have to fight the enemy on American soil.
Thank you. My father, a Southern farm boy, went to N.
Africa, Italy & Germany in WWII, hoping they could avoid
having to fight the enemy on American soil. They beat
Hitler back; but the Japanese were still kicking. If
Truman hadn’t had the guts to use the atomic bomb on
Japan; as a hardened combat veteran, Daddy would have had
to go into the invasion of Japan. I sure don’t knock
President Truman for his decision to use what he had at
his disposal to end that war. - Daddy would not believe
that at this point, I’d be having to do target practice;
but I am.
